I am sitting in one of the most beautiful Piazzas in Italy, Piazza Maggiore in Bologna. On a huge screen, Gene Hackman is walking across Union Square in San Francisco, which by coincidence is almost exactly the same size as the square where I’m sitting. He’s trying to record a conversation between two young lovers. The film is The Conversation, the masterpiece which Coppola sandwiched between the first two Godfathers in 1974. Coppola’s film was also inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966), another Italian connection. I can’t think of a better way of watching this 4K restoration, sh...

Fans of screen icon Marilyn Monroe have won a battle to preserve her mark on Los Angeles. The LA home where Monroe briefly lived and died has been declared a historic cultural monument, while a Palm Springs planning commission decision boosted chances that an 8-meter statue called "Forever Marilyn" will stay in place. The Los Angeles City Council voted for the historic designation after a lengthy battle over whether the Spanish Colonial-style house would be demolished, according to the Los Angeles Times. The current owners live next door and wanted to raze the house in order to expand their es...

Most descriptions for Des Teufels Bad (The Devil’s Bath) may inadvertently discourage viewers looking for a clear notion of what they’re about to watch. It’s an unclassifiable and tantalising slow-burn that won’t be everyone’s idea of a carefree time at the cinema. However, to skip it would be a mistake, as it is without a doubt one of the most memorable films you’ll see all year and the highlight of this year’s Berlinale, where it premiered in Competition and won the Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution - awarded to cinematographer Martin Gschlacht for his striking work. Many - inlcudin...

Five minutes into Austrian directing duo Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (Goodnight Mommy, The Lodge)’s third feature Des Teufels Bad (The Devil’s Bath), you know this period piece is not going to be an easy watch. Upper Austria. 1750. A bleak prologue sees a mother traverse the woods, and head towards a waterfall. There, without batting an eyelid, she throws her screaming infant off the ledge. She then heads to the church, knocks on the door, and turns herself in to the authorities. “I have committed a crime.” She is executed. More precisely, she is decapitated, with her fingers and toes cho...

The union that represents most behind-the-scenes film and television crews in the US has reached a tentative deal with studios for about 50,000 of its members, making another major, production-stopping strike unlikely after a year of labour turmoil in Hollywood. The two sides announced the three-year deal in a joint statement last night (Tuesday 25 June). The union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, said in an email to members, who still must vote to approve the deal, that the agreement includes the pay hikes and artificial intelligence protections they had been vying f...

There are persistent rumours that an upcoming English-language remake of Netflix’s hit show Squid Game is on the way, with David Fincher (Se7en, The Social Network, The Killer) slated to direct. Fincher’s project has writer Dennis Kelly (Utopia, Matilda The Musical) working on the script, and while the pairing of Fincher and the South Korean hit drama looks good on paper - the director having previously dived into remake territory (the US version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) and having an unparalleled knack for delving into both physical and psychological violence - some eyebrows are be...
